On the last Sunday of January we met for the first time with Marjana. As soon as she contacted me on Instagram, I fell in love with her beautiful red hair and decided to arrange a photo session right away!

The idea of shooting in the city had already been appealing to me for quite a while, though I decided to go for an area of Helsinki that is not commonly considered pretty: Merihaka. The neighbourhood was build between the 70's and the 80's and it consists of massive concrete buildings in Soviet Union style.

Besides the location, I believe the grey sky and the snowfall also made for a wonderfully atmospheric urban session. Not to mention that having Marjana in front of my camera was a pleasure — I am pretty sure I am going to call her many more times again!
